comp'etion of the first phase of Jay Street and begin constructing units in their first phase of their
houshg development at Andover Station North by the fall of2006,
Comnissioner Jacobson stated if they asswned they get a couple of businesses signed up and they
put ir, the sewer and water and road next year, they are not assessed for this until 2006, Mr.
Dicki 'ISon stated they will pay the hook up charges and the area charges along with the lateral to get
this to the building; the rest they are tIying to factor into the cost of the land.
Comnissioner Jacobson wondered if they were looking at delaying the entire project for an entire
year. Mr. Newneister stated he did not think they were looking at that but they will tIy to structure
the bi,! package so there would be more than one alternative to look at The decision would not need
to cone until February.
Comnissioner Knight asked if the first units would be for sale in 2005 or 2006, Mr. Newneister
stated it would delay the construction by a year.
u
Comnissioner Jacobson asked if this would delay the City putting in a road. Mr. Dickinson stated
they v [ould not need to delay putting the road and utilities in, They have increment dollars available
to move forward, He stated the position he is taking with them is if Bruggemen wants to delay it,
they rut just as much down if not more for holding the property and if they do not agree to some of
the City's terms, the city has the opportunity to market it to someone else,
Comnissioner Orttel thought they had enough revenue to get the project going. Mr. Dickinson
stated that was correct.
Mr. Berkowitz stated they will stay on the same schedule for the project
Mr. Nowak stated there should be a cost to Bruggeman for the delay, Mr, Newneister stated this is
built into the cost but the City would like more money down to hold the land,
Commissioner Orttel stated once they determine the use of the land, he thought anyone would be
able to use the land,
Mr. Newneister explained what Bruggeman will need to provide the City for development of the
land.
Commissioner Orttel thought they were relying on the liquidity of the residential in order to go
forwa -d with this and he was worried they would get too far ahead,
;.)
Commissioner Knight asked if the market was so soft that they could not even put in a small nwnber
ofhor.les, Mr. Newneister stated construction of town homes has slowed down because they are not
selling as quickly as before. He stated that if some of the units at Station Parkway would move, they
would be more inclined to start. He has heard this from other developers also.

Executive Director Dickinson explained this past week staff met with another local developer that is
interested in looking at the possibility of building an office showroom building in Andover Station
North. The other developers that we have been in contact with are still showing interest in being in
the first phase of the construction and that would enable the City to build at least the first phase of
Jay Street in the summer of2005,
Comnissioner Jacobson asked if that would be for development in the first part of2005, Mr. Casey
indic, ted that was correct.

ANDOVER STATION SOUTH PROPOSAL - RYAN COMPANIES
Community Development Director Neumeister stated the City staff has worked with the
architectural staff at Ryan Companies to develop an architectural plan for the new 10,000 square
foo~ building for the space in front of the Target Store at the corner of Martin Street and Bunker
La~ e Boulevard.
Mr. Tom Palmquist with Ryan Companies made a presentation regarding the Andover Retail
Certer.
Commissioner Trude wondered what types of food shops they could have for the small areas,
Ms, Molly Carson stated they could have sandwich shops and ifthey had seven thousand square
feet or more they could have something like a Chinese Restaurant,
o
Mr. Nate Inger explained the layout of the building on the property and the elevation of the
building, Commissioner Trude stated she did not consider looking at the back of the building
while driving by, She wondered ifthey wanted to have people look at the garbage area. Mr,
Palmquist explained the way they wanted traffic to move through the area.

Mr, Inger noted trash was brought indoors and what they would see would be small doors.
Commissioner Jacobson wondered how they got by the problem of trucks delivering to the
bui'ding. Mr. Inger stated the coffee shops usually have normal hours and they could schedule
deliveries around the drive thru hours,
Mr, Inger described the materials that will be used in the building,
CO! nmissioner Trude did not like the look of metal on the back of the building. Commissioner
Knight stated they usually face the front ofthe building out from the road, Ms. Molly Carson
stat~d they talked to some retailers and the retailers preferred to face Target because it would
hell' their sales.
Commissioner Trude thought the way the building faced was dependent on the surrounding
activity. Mr. Neumeister stated there is a building like this in Blaine where the building faces
insije with the back of the building facing Highway 65.
Mr, Neumeister stated Ryan Companies is mimicking the Target building with matching colors
and materials. Mr. Inger stated the logic of this building is trying to achieve what they did with
Tar ~et.
Pre:;ident Gamache arrived at 6: 15 p,m.
Ms, Carson stated they are looking at a variety of users for this site and are in serious
neg:ltiations with some national companies,
Conmissioner Jacobson understood the back service doors would be normal size. He wondered
iftl e rest ofthe panels would be fixed and why would they use panels throughout the back of the
building, Mr. Inger stated a lot ofthe tenants will have kitchens which they will put in the back
of fie building and make it easier for a tenant to set up their store. He stated there is also a nice
clem look with all of the different users throughout the years.
Conmissioner Trude wondered how the colors ofthis building would match up to Tanners. Mr,
Net meister stated they would be similar and compliment each other,
Conmissioner Trude thought this building was more boxy than the surrounding buildings. Mr.
Inger explained the different articulations they are using on the building to make it a cleaner
100L
Conmissioner Jacobson wondered what the ceiling height inside would be, Mr. Inger stated it
wotld be twelve feet high. Commissioner Jacobson wondered if they would be able to hide the
equ' pment on the roof from the road, Mr, Inger stated they have brought the parapet up three
feet from the roof to conceal the units-

Coumissioner Knight asked ifthey considered putting the drive thru on the end. Ms. Carson
stat ~d with a sixty foot depth building, they could not get stacking in and it would be too hard of
a turn to make,
Cor~missioner Trude stated she has a hard time seeing the back of the building facing the main
roa< L She thought the marketing to the community was so important. Commissioner Orttel
stat ~d ifthe building was placed another way, he did not know if it would work and fit on the
pro;Jerty. He stated he would like to see some buildings that are set up like this.
Conmissioner Jacobson wondered if they could move the building ninety degrees.
Con missioner Trude thought they could have two buildings instead of one, Mr. Palmquist
stat ~d it would not be economically feasible to do that.
Conmissioner Jacobson thought it would be helpful to move the building over and move the
curh cut so the building can face the road because the back of the building facing the road does
not appeal to him.
Mr. Palmquist stated they could look at the south elevation again with different options.
Mr, Inger noted they could bring samples of the metal panels.
Conmissioner Knight wondered if there was any way of breaking the building elevation up. Mr.
Inger stated they could bring back samples of different elevations,
Mr, Neumeister wondered if they brought this back to the Commission, would they consider
kee}ing the building this way because Ms, Carson may have a problem keeping the tenants she
has possibly locked in if they change the building to face the road. Ms, Carson stated many of
the tenants stated they wanted the building to face Target and they would not consider anything
else,
Conmissioner Trude wondered if they could move the entrance over one way or another because
she thought it was dangerous to have an entrance in the front of the buildings with people
bac~dng up and people entering it. Ms. Carson explained the flow of traffic for the drive thru.
Ms, Carson stated they have had good interest with tenants.
The Commission asked Ryan Companies to look at staggering the entrance from the Target
entrance for safety concerns,
DI~CUSS ANDOVER STATION NORTH DEVELOPMENT PROGRESS

Anc'over Economic Development Authority Meeting
Mil 'utes - October 19. 2004
POF4
Community Development Director Neumeister explained the City staff have worked with the
engineering consultant to establish a more realistic schedule for the development of Andover
Stalion North, Jay Street extension, Staff is of the opinion that this new schedule works well, as
the contractors typically don't start until frost is out of the ground, which is usually early April.
Mr, Neumeister noted another recent development is the design of a site plan from Bruggeman
for the proposed townhomes, This plan shows that they are not going to plat units over the lot
line, as their negotiations with Mr. Brad Povlitzki have not moved along to the point that they
can develop townhomes over onto the Povlitzki property. The design still leaves the opportunity
to develop some units on the Povlitzki property, however it will be slightly diminished.
Cor~missioner Trude thought they need to hear back ifthings do not go through,
Cor~missioner Jacobson stated with the new pond configuration, one of the buildings will be in
the pond. Mr. Neumeister stated they will need to change the configuration of the buildings to
allow for more parking space at the ball park. He stated the ponding has been accepted and
app roved by the watershed so they cannot change the configuration of the ponds,
" Cor~missioner Orttel stated there should be access to the west for access to Povlitzki's property.
<.../
UP.!JA TE ON ANDOVER STATION SOUTH
Conmunity Development Director Neumeister stated City staff met with the people from Ryan
Corstruction to go over the maintenance responsibilities for the area around the ponds and all the
site; at Andover Station South. Construction is coming along nicely and looks like it will be
pos ;ible that Walgreens could open sooner than Thanksgiving. Target is still on schedule to
Opel prior to Easter of2005.

Included with this report is Page 19 of the Andover Station Design Standards, Under the section
titled "Prohibited Signs, "the following is written:
. Signs with flashing, blinking or moving lights or any other moving lights, or any other
illuminating device that has changing light intensity, brightness, or color, except for parts
designed to give public service information such as time, date, temperature or similar
information. I
The issue at hand is whether or not the language above would prohibit a lighted reader board
''t lectronic message unit" sign like the one currently used by CVS/ Pharmacy. Please see the
attached graphic ofCVS's sign. Walgreen's would like to erect a similar electronic message unit
si ~n in place of their current sign. Please see the attached graphic; Walgreen's current sign is a
white backlit reader board with black slide-in letters,
ACTION REQUESTED
The EDA is asked to interpret the Andover Station Design Standards to determine whether it will
allow Walgreen's to erect an electronic message unit sign in Andover Station given the language
re gulating signage in the Andover Station Design Standards.
